    The question is can Frank manage to put on 6 shows in one year ?

    Was the Copper Box being used for anything else after the Olympics? It can only house around 7k people.

    BJ Saunders v John Ryder just isn't going to happen - probably Eddie will pull him out to fight for some IBF intercontinental / eliminator .

    Think it's going to be used for a British league basketball team as well.

    7k is a fair size for boxing though, can Frank put on 6 cards a year that are worthy of that size an arena, is is the arena set out in a way that the capacity can be massively reduced without it looking too silly?

    I'd doubt it, wasn't the manager/promoter conflict the reason he wouldn't let Barry co-promote Framptons fights? Or the reasoning he gave for it anyway.

    Gary O'Sullivan should pull out of his fight with BJS. No way Frank is going to allow a decision if he already has BJS lined up for September. Paschal Collins should show his wisdom here and pull his fighter out.

    I have bought tickets solely because it falls on my brothers birthday weekend so it is an easy gift and I would like to see this "new" venue.

    I would very much like to see Billy Joe fight Ryder but not overly confident that it will happen.

    Will now be interesting to see who is added to the bill between now and then, who pulls out and for what reason
